Journal ArticleDOI
Unusual brain growth patterns in early life in patients with autistic disorder: An MRI study
Eric Courchesne,Christina M. Karns,H. R. Davis,R. Ziccardi,Ruth A. Carper,Z. D. Tigue,Heather J. Chisum,Pamela Moses,Karen Pierce,Catherine Lord,Alan J. Lincoln,Senia Pizzo,Laura Schreibman,Richard H. Haas,Natacha Akshoomoff,Rachel Y. Courchesne +15 more
TL;DR: Hyperplasia was present in cerebral gray matter and cerebral and cerebellar white matter in early life in patients with autism and normal regulation of brain growth in autism results in early overgrowth followed by abnormally slowed growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impairment in shifting attention in autistic and cerebellar patients.
Eric Courchesne,Jeanne Townsend,Natacha Akshoomoff,Osamu Saitoh,Rachel Yeung-Courchesne,Alan J. Lincoln,Hector E. James,Richard H. Haas,Laura Schreibman,Lily Lau +9 more
TL;DR: For example, this paper showed that autistic patients and patients with acquired cerebellar lesions were similarly impaired in a task requiring rapid and accurate shifts of attention between auditory and visual stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Examining the relationship between executive functions and restricted, repetitive symptoms of Autistic Disorder.
TL;DR: An executive function model consisting of relative strengths and deficits was the best predictor of restricted, repetitive symptoms of autism.
Journal ArticleDOI
II. Hypersociability in Williams Syndrome
Wendy Jones,Ursula Bellugi,Zona Lai,Michael Chiles,Judy Reilly,Alan J. Lincoln,Ralph Adolphs +6 more
TL;DR: Four studies measuring distinct aspects of hypersocial behavior in Williams syndrome are presented, each probing specific aspects in WMS infants, toddlers, school age children, and adults and promise to provide the ground-work for crossdisciplinary analyses of gene-brain-behavior relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensorimotor Gating Deficits in Adults with Autism
TL;DR: Adults with AD have sensorimotor gating deficits similar to other neurodevelopmental disorders, implicating a failure of normal inhibitory regulation of sensory, motor, and attentional mechanisms.
